Hi! I've purchased Parallels Desktop for Mac (Version 15.1.3 (47255)).
I have a Mid-2015 MacBook Pro (MBP) running the most recent version of Catalina.
I also have a 2017 iMac 21.5" running Mojave 10.14.6.
I have installed Parallels on the 21.5" iMac.
I have booted my MBP in Target Disk Mode and hooked the two computers up via a Thunderbolt cable.
My iMac recognizes the MBP's HD, indicating the Target Disk Mode was successfully linked.
Is there a way I can run my MBP through Parallels from my iMac?
I essentially want to have my MBP accessible through Parallels on my iMac, so I can work on my iMac and easily and quickly use my MBP when needed.
Please let me know if there is any other information that is needed.
Thanks!

With Parallels Desktop it is not possible but with Parallels Access you can remotely access your MBP from the iMac.
 
Thanks for the help! I guess I wanted to make sure I couldn't use my MBP's HD like a partition. Does that make sense?
